What Was Plod Doing To Them Scoobs On The M4/M5 Today
Evening All,
Was going North on the M5 where the M4 joins at Bristol about 1 30 this Afternoon.
As I passed the Flyover,Plod had Boxed in 4 Scoobs, on the Hard Shoulder, the rear car was a White STI, I wasn't hanging around, when I passed, it had a Plodmobile in the Rear Blue Lghts going & a similar one at the front blocking them in.
Any one know what that was all about?
Traffic was slowing down for a good look.
THanks all.

It might be something to do with this. WR1 Owners Club :: View topic - Stolen from forecourt.
Tileys are the Subaru dealer in Bristol, for those of you who didn't know.

Might have been something to do with there is an armed gang apparently targeting Subaru's and other high performance jap cars in Gloucestershire.
5 stolen from round here in the last 3 weeks,2 from people I know.
The police said on the radio today that anyone owning one of these cars should take out extra security measures as so many of them are being stolen.
My 1 mates had 2 cat 1 alarm/immobiliser's,a steering wheel lock and a tracker.Went to bed,next morning it was gone ! Must be professionals to get around all that without making any noise.
The police reckon they are being stolen to be used as getaway cars in robberies.

Ok that's interesting about Gloucestershire.
We had some car thefts around here (Surrey), guys were interrupted half-way through by local copper, but they got away. He got the rego and the Gloucester police saw the car and stopped it. To find a load of blokes got out, armed...
I wonder.....

I think a Subaru would be the last car i used in a ram raid. Barely tapped my door with the wifes car door and was still left with a noticable dink. F**k knows what a full scale ram would do to the rear end.
Nik.

They aren't using the Subaru for the Ram raid,they are using them just for the getaway.
Do you think they lift off the throttle when the knock-link lights up

Robo Cop it was a White STI that was at the back of the Box in.
Wonder if was part of that?
If it was, in fainess to Plod, he's trying to do a job.
My mate got stopped in his Green STI late last night, spent a fortune on it.
Plod asked for all his Documents after which he said, people had been breaking into peoples house to nick the keys and, the Scoob disappears. (ringing?)
My mate thanked Plod and thought if his was nicked at least they were doing something, then thought would they have stopped??
